Thread: Town Hall Discussion: Mile High Salute Trial Period Coming to an End - Input Needed

Oh, on a related note. Some of you may have noticed N/A showing up instead of a link showing to High Fives/MHS posts. This is some kind of bug related to the vBulletin upgrade and I am trying to see if there is a fix in place.

I think everything should be back to normal, and I will try and figure out how to get the security upgrade and High Five's to coexist.

Good work Tned.

If Cswil was one of those banned, you don't have to worry about him.

lol, sorry about that. Top paged me while I was at lunch, and it was like "Oh ____". I connected with my mobile phone, saw the error message, but couldn't remove the security upgrade and unban the IPs via the phone. I had tested a bunch of stuff afterwards, but not the High-Five system.

Ooooops

Tis quite alright. Figured the first time I got banned would be for something quite good, but maybe this will be my one and only.

Me too, GEM...

I just figured that it was a problem with the server or something... started with the Hi-5s and then I couldn't get in at all, I figured the site had gone down.

Funny thing is that I was doing it 'multiple times' to make sure I got the error message right, so that I could come here and post about it to Tned.

I didn't realize that I had been banned I'd have had a heart attack if I HAD, though. I left for work not knowing, and then it was back up when I got home, so no biggie, I figured, until I read this thread just now.

Wow, Trych will be impressed when I tell him I got banned...

The way the server security thing works, it was after 5 attempts at running what it considered to be a suspect script, it banned the IP. So, by doing it multiple times, you hit the 5 limit. I think there were around 8 IPs in the server firewall when I cleaned it out yesterday, so that is how many people wound up getting banned for that 45 minutes or so.

I would like to thank Tned for banning Nurse Red. I always knew you were a top notch administrator.
